Harvey Street, Whakatane
View on mapKua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. Ka hāngai te pūrongo nei ki ā rātou pūnaha, ā rātou whakahaeretanga, me ā rātou whakaritenga. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā whānau, ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka ki ngā papa o te marae o Te Whare o Tōroa, ki te pokapū o te tāone o Whakatāne, i te rohe o Mātaatua. E tino tautokona ana te kōhanga reo e ngā kaumātua o ngā hapū o Ngāti Hokopū rāua ko Ngāti Wharepaia, ā, ko Ngāti Awa te iwi.
I kitea ki te aromātai Mana Whakahaere a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Here-turi-kōkā o te tau 2023, i te tautoko, i te whai pānga hoki ngā uara o te whanaungatanga ki te āhua o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Ko te waiora o ngā mokopuna, ko tā rātou ako hoki te aronga o ngā whakataunga a te whānau.
Kei te whanake haere ngā mokopuna hei ākonga auaha, ā, e tupu ana tō rātou tuakiri me tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā mokopuna ki te tangongitanga o ngā wheako ako whakaongaonga. Kei te hihiko, kei te auaha, kei te tākare hoki ngā kaimahi, i a rātou e taunekeneke ana ki ngā mokopuna. Kua tuituia ki te hōtaka akoranga, ko ngā taumahi pērā i ngā rotarota, ngā kēmu ā-ringa, te kori tinana hoki, me te tangongitanga o ngā waiata me ngā hīmene, hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te taki i ngā mōteatea me ngā pepeha, mā te whakaari me ngā mahi ā-ringa. Ka whakapakari aua tūāhuatanga i te mōhiotanga o ngā mokopuna ki a rātou anō. E pou here ana ngā tikanga o te whanaungatanga, te manaakitanga, me te aroha i ngā taunekeneke katoa, ā, ka rongo ngā mokopuna i ngā hononga e whai pūtake ana. Ka menemene, ka katakata hoki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka kitea tō rātou ngākau nuitanga me tō rātou harikoa. He pai te taunekeneke ngātahi a ngā tuākana me ngā pēpi. Whakamihi ai ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna i ia te wā, mō ā rātou whakamātau me ā rātou whakatutukitanga. He tākare te whakaatu atu a ngā mokopuna i tō rātou māramatanga ki te taha auaha, ā, ka whakapuaki rātou i ō rātou ake tuakiritanga.
He hihiri ngā wāhi o roto, o waho hoki, ā, he pai te whakaritenga me te whai rauemi e hāpai ai i te taunekeneke a ngā mokopuna ki waenga i a rātou anō mā te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi. Kua āta whakaritea, kua taunga hoki ngā mahinga o ia rā. Ka whakaongaongatia, ka werohia, ka whakawhānuitia ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou akoranga, mā te tangongitanga o ngā tūmomo huarahi. Ka tūhura rātou, ā, ka ngākau nui hoki ki te mahi auaha me te noho pākiki ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi, tūmomo waiata, me ngā tūmomo taputapu e wero ana i ō rātou tairongo me ō rātou whakaaro. Kei te harikoa ngā mokopuna i a rātou e whai wāhi atu ana ki te tākaro me te ako.
I whakapuakihia e te whānau me ngā kaimahi ō rātou wawata ki te whakarahi tonu i ngā pūnaha, ngā huarahi, me ngā aronga e whakatairanga ake ana i te kounga o te ako me ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna. E tautoko ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i tēnei tūāhuatanga hei whakawhanaketanga e tika ana kia whai ake.
Kua manatokotia ngā take katoa i tautuhia ai ki te pūrongo Mana Whakahaere a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Here-turi-kōkā o te tau 2023. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
te haumaru ā-whatumanawa, tae atu ki te ārahi mauritau me te ārai tamariki
te haumaru ā-tinana, tae atu ki te mātakitaki tamariki, ngā whakaritenga whakamoe, ngā aituā, te whāngai rongoā; me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki mō ngā haerenga whakawaho
te tū tika o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki te tika o ngā tohu mātauranga, ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti
ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia whakarahi ake tonu te whānau i ngā whakaritenga aromātai o roto e pakari ana, hei whakapūmau i ngā putanga e whai kounga ana ki ngā mokopuna.

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka is located on the grounds of Te Whāre o Toroa Marae located in the central Whakatane Township te rohe o Mataatua. The kōhanga reo is well supported by kaumātua of Ngati Hokopū Wharepaia Hapu of Ngāti Awa Iwi.
The ERO August 2023 evaluation of Mana Whakahaere practices found the values of whanaungatanga supported and reflected how the whānau managed the operations of the kōhanga reo. Mokopuna wellbeing and learning was the focus of whānau decision making.
Mokopuna are becoming creative learners with a growing sense of identity and belonging.
Mokopuna participate in a range of stimulating learning experiences. Kaimahi are energetic, creative and enthusiastic as they interact with mokopuna. Activities such as rotarota, hand games, body actions and a variety of waiata himene are integrated into the learning programme to support mokopuna language development. Kaimahi support mokopuna to recite mōteatea and pepehā through animation and hand actions. This strengthens mokopuna knowledge of who they are. The tikanga of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and aroha underpin all interactions, through this, mokopuna experience meaningful relationships. Mokopuna smile and laugh as an expression of enjoyment and happiness. Tuākana and pepi interact well together. Kaimahi consistently praise mokopuna as an acknowledgement of their efforts and achievements. Mokopuna eagerly demonstrate their understanding of creativity and express their unique sense of identity.
The indoor and outdoor learning spaces are vibrant, organised, resourced and allow mokopuna to interact with each other in a range of activities. Daily routines are well established and predictable. Mokopuna are stimulated, challenged and extended in their learning in multiple ways. They explore and enjoy being creative and curious with a variety of different resources, music and equipment that challenge their senses and ideas. Mokopuna are happy while engaging in both play and learning.
Whānau and kaimahi shared their aspirations to continue to increase systems, methods and approaches to further enhance quality learning and outcomes for mokopuna. ERO supports this as a next step for development.
All matters identified in ERO August 2023 Mana Whakahaere findings have been verified during this onsite visit. Mokopuna are at the centre of whānau whakahaere.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.
ERO recommends that whānau continue to increase sound internal evaluation practices to maintain quality outcomes for mokopuna.

Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka ki ngā papa o te marae o Mātaatua, ki Whakatāne. E tino tautokona ana te kōhanga reo e ngā kaumātua o Ngāti Awa. Ko ngā pou whenua whakahirahira me ngā kōrero tuku iho o te takiwā nei, ētahi āhuatanga e noho mātuatua ana ki ngā wheako o ngā mokopuna i ia rā.
He pēhea rawa te poipoi a te whānau i te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna ki te whanaungatanga?
He taiao tō Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka e whakatairanga ana i te whanaungatanga hei oranga mō ngā mokopuna.
E whakapono ana te whānau ki te noho matua rā o te whanaungatanga ki ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo i ia rā. He mārama ā rātou tukanga me ā rātou pūnaha mō te aroturukitanga me te pūrongo i ngā āhuatanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, ā, he whai wāhitanga mō te whānau ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro. Kua whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, ā, ka whai wāhi ki te āta ārahi me te āta tohutohu i ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi me te whānau. Kua āta whakatakotohia te mahere ā-tau, ā, ka tautuhi i te whānuitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere me ngā mahi i te tari, me ngā wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia. Tū ai ngā hōneatanga ohotata i ia te wā, ā, kua whakatutukihia hoki ngā rēhita e āta whakatau ai i te aronga matua ki te hauora, te haumaru me te waiora o ngā mokopuna. E poipoia ana te waiora o ngā mokopuna, tā rātou ako hoki, me te atawhai i a rātou.
Ko te whanaungatanga te tūāpapa o ngā mahere, ngā aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. Ka tuituia e ngā kaimahi ngā wawata o te whānau i roto i ngā mahere. E āta whakatakoto ana te mahere ako i te kiko o te hōtaka me ngā rautaki mō te whakatinanatanga. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi i te whakaarotanga ki ngā rauemi whai pānga. Kua whakatakotohia ngā whakaritenga aromatawai. Ka kapohia, ka whakaatuhia ngā huarahi ako o ia mokopuna ki tana pūkete. Ka whai hua ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te whānau, ā, ka puta ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te ako a ngā mokopuna. Whakaaro huritao ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki tēnā i whai hua ai, me ngā whakarerekētanga papai e whakatutuki ai i ngā matea o ngā mokopuna. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te tōpūtanga o ngā whakaritenga kua pou herea ki te whanaungatanga.
Ahakoa ka whakatinanahia te mahere rautaki ki Te Ara Tūāpae, ā, ka tautuhi hoki i ngā kaupapa matua mō te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo hei te pae tawhiti, kua tae ki te wā kia whakawhanakehia te mahere mahi e aroturuki ai i te ahu whakamua o ngā whāinga me ngā wawata o te whānau. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā ka āta whakamaheretia, ka whakaaro nuitia hoki ō rātou matea mō meāke nei.
Kāhore anō kia kitea ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi. Kua whakatau tahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau, ka whakawāteahia ngā tuhinga hei te taenga atu a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
te haumaru ā-whatumanawa, tae atu ki te ārahi mauritau me te ārai tamariki
te haumaru ā-tinana, tae atu ki te mātakitaki tamariki, ngā whakaritenga whakamoe, ngā aituā, te whāngai rongoā; me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki mō ngā haerenga whakawaho
te tū tika o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki te tika o ngā tohu mātauranga, ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti
ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia whakawhanakehia e te whānau tētahi mahere mahi e aroturuki ai i te mahere rautaki, ā, kia whakawāteahia ngā tuhinga katoa e whai pānga ana ki ngā take kaimahi hei te taenga atu a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo.

This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka is located on the grounds of Te Whāre o Toroa Marae located in the Central Whakatane Township te rohe o Mataatua. The kōhanga reo is well supported by kaumātua of Ngati Hokopū Wharepaia Hapu of Ngāti Awa Iwi. Significant landmarks and stories of the local area are an important part of mokopuna daily experiences.
How well do whanau foster mokopuna understanding of whanaungatanga?
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka provides an environment that promotes whanungatanga for the well being of mokopuna.
Whānau believe whanaungatanga is central to the day-to-day management of the kōhanga reo. They have clear processes and systems for monitoring and reporting on key aspects of the kōhanga reo operations. Whānau hui are held regularly and provide opportunities for whānau to contribute. Core health and safety policies and procedures are in place and provides clear guidance and direction for kaimahi and whānau. An annual plan is well set out and identifies overall operational and administration tasks and when these are to be completed. Emergency evacuations are carried out regularly and registers are complete to ensure mokopuna health, safety and welling is prioritised. Mokopuna wellbeing, care and learning is nurtured.
Whanaungatanga forms the foundation of planning, assessment and programme evaluation. Kaimahi incorporate whānau aspirations into planning. The māhere ako specifies programme content and strategies for implementation. Kaimahi ensure resource allocation is considered. Assessment practices is established. Mokopuna learning journeys are captured and presented in mokopuna individual portfolios. Effective communication with whānau provides information pertaining to mokopuna learning. Kaimahi regularly reflect on what worked well and make positive changes to respond to mokopuna needs. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative practices underpinned by whanaungatanga.
While the strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae and identifies priorities for the future development of the kōhanga reo, it is timely that an action plan be developed to monitor the progress of whanau goals and aspirations. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs are well planned and considered.
Matters relating to personnel documentation are yet to be sighted. Whānau and ERO agreed that documentation will be made available during the onsite visit.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation that whānau develop an action plan to monitor the strategic plan and all relevant documentation for personnel matters be made available for the onsite visit.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka ki Whakatāne, ki te marae o Mātaatua. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua whai wāhi atu ētahi mema hou o te whānau ki te kawe i ngā tūranga whakahaere matua i te kōhanga reo – pērā i te kaiwhakahaere tari me te heamana.
E whanake ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou tātai hono.
Ka pupū ake ngā whai wāhitanga i ia rā mō ngā tamariki ki te ako i ō rātou whakapapa. Kei ngā wāhanga ōkawa o te hōtaka o ia rā, ko ngā karakia, ko ngā waiata, ko ngā mihimihi, ko ngā pepeha. He rerekē anō te āhua o te ngākau titikaha, o ngā āheinga hoki o tēnā me tēnā o ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakapapa ki ētahi atu. Kei te kōhanga reo ētahi whakaaturanga e whai pānga ana ki te tuakiri o ngā tamariki. Ka whakapūmautia te whanaungatanga e ngā kaimahi. Ka whakapakarihia te whanaungatanga me ngā hononga ki waenga i te whānau. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi i te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki ngā kaupapa katoa i te marae. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā kawa me ngā tikanga o te iwi, ā, ka whakapakarihia tō rātou tū hei tangata whenua. He hiahia tō te whānau kia riro i ā rātou tamariki ngā wheako ako hōhonu e whai pānga nui ana ki a rātou, kia whanake ai te tūmāia o ngā tamariki nā tō rātou mōhio ki a rātou anō, ki ō rātou tūrangawaewae hoki. E whakatairangatia ana te ako a ngā tamariki i tō rātou tū whakahirahira i roto i te whānau, i te hapū, i te iwi.
Kāhore te hōtaka akoranga e whakahaerehia ana hei aro ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo matea me ngā tūmomo ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki. Ka hāngai anō hoki taua tūāhuatanga ki ngā tamariki i tāutuhia ai hei hāpai ake anō i roto i te ako. Kei te kōkiri nuitia te hōtaka akoranga e ngā pakeke, ā, e whakawhāiti ana taua tūāhuatanga i te āheinga o ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou wairua auaha. He mea nui kia whakarite ngā kaimahi i a rātou anō ki te whakapūmau i tā rātou mātakitaki i ngā tamariki i ngā wā katoa ki roto i te whare, ā, ki waho hoki. Mā te mātakitaki i ngā tamariki ka iti ake hoki te ngā tautohetohe ki waenga i ngā tamariki. I tēnei wā, kei te whakararutia te ako me te haumaru o ngā tamariki.
E whakahaerehia ana te kōhanga reo me te tari e te whānau, hei painga mō ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki me tō rātou atawhai. Tū ai ngā hui i ia te wā, puta noa i te tau, hei aroturuki i ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka kitea te tino aronga nui o ngā mema o te whānau ki tō rātou kōhanga reo, mā tā rātou taetae atu ki ngā hui me tā rātou whai wāhi nui ki ngā kaupapa i whakamaheretia ai puta noa i te tau. Kua kawe ake ētahi mema o te whānau i ngā tūranga whakahaere matua, ngā kawenga mahi matua hoki, ā, e noho pūmau ana ki te ako i ngā āhuatanga ā rātou hei whakapai ake, kia whakatairangatia e rātou te whānuitanga tonu o ngā akoranga me te atawhai o ā rātou tamariki.
Ko te whakamahere i te hōtaka, me ngā whakaritenga, ngā tukanga hoki e pā ana ki te aromātai me te aromatawai ētahi āhuatanga ka taea te whakapakari ake, kia pai ake ai te aro atu ki ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki. Ahakoa he hōhonu ngā mahere ako ā-kaupapa i te kōhanga reo, kāhore ngā kaimahi me te whānau o tēnei wā i whai wāhi atu ai ki te waihanga me te ārahitanga o aua mahere. Me āta whakarite ngā kaimahi kia kōrerohia e rātou i ia te wā tēnā e wāhi hua ana ki te hōtaka akoranga, ā, me whakamahere anō hoki i ā rātou mahi ki te whakapai ake i ngā āhuatanga o te hōtaka kāhore e tino whai hua ana ki ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā pūkete e kapo atu ana i te hōkai o te ako a ngā tamariki i whakamāramahia ai ki ngā mahere. Kāhore te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki e āta aroturukitia ana.
He maha ngā wāhanga o ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo hei arotake, hei whakahou ake. Kāhore anō te tūtohinga kia whakahou ake kia whai pānga ai hoki ki ngā whakarerekētanga o ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā. Me aro mātua rā ki te whakahou ake i ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, ā, ki te whakahāngai anō hoki i ēnei ki Te Ture Oranga Tamariki o 2014. Me whai wāhi atu hoki ngā tūmanako e pā ana ki te marautanga, pērā i ngā mahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai. Kua tae ki te wā, kia arotakengia e te whānau tā rātou mahere rautaki, inarā, i ngā mahi hei whai atu ki te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga me ngā wawata o te whānau. He mea nui anō hoki kia whakatinanahia e te whānau ngā mahi e arohaehae ai i ngā kaimahi i ia tau, hei āta whakarite i te whakatairangatanga me te whakapūmautanga o te kounga o ā rātou mahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki.
I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:

Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka is located in Whakatāne, based at Mātaatua Marae. Since the previous ERO review, new whānau members have taken on key management roles and responsibilities in the kōhanga reo, including the administrator and chairperson.
Children are developing in their confidence to express who they are and who they belong to.
Children have daily opportunities to learn about their whakapapa. The formal aspect of the daily programme includes karakia, waiata, mihimihi and pepeha. Children are at different levels of confidence and ability to share their whakapapa with others. There are some displays in the kōhanga reo relating to children’s identity. Whanaungatanga is reinforced by kaimahi. Whānau relationships and bonds are strengthened. Kaimahi ensure children participate in all marae activities. Children learn about the kawa and tikanga of the iwi where their place as tangata whenua is strengthened. The whānau want these rich and relevant learning experiences for their children as they develop in confidence about who they are and where they come from. Children’s learning about their special place in the whānau, hapū and iwi is enhanced.
The learning programme is not managed in ways that respond to the wide-ranging needs and interests of children. This includes those children who are identified as requiring extra learning support. The learning programme is mostly adult directed which restricts children’s abilities to be creative and innovative. It is important for kaimahi to organise themselves to ensure they maintain supervision of children at all times both indoors and outdoors. Supervision will also minimise potential conflict between children. Currently the learning and safety of children are compromised.
The kōhanga reo is managed and administered by the whānau in the interests of children’s learning and care. Regular hui are held throughout the year to monitor kōhanga reo operations. Whānau members show strong interest in their kōhanga reo through attendance at hui and involvement in kaupapa events planned throughout the year. Whānau members have taken on key management and administration roles and responsibilities and are committed to learning about where they can improve to enhance overall learning and care for their children.
Programme planning, evaluation and assessment practices and processes can be strengthened to better respond to the learning needs of children. While there are rich kaupapa-based learning plans, the current kaimahi and whānau are not part of the design and leadership of these. Kaimahi must ensure they regularly discuss what is working well in the learning programme, and plan for how they will improve aspects of the programme that are not working well for children. Portfolios do not capture the scope of children’s learning as described in the planning. Children’s learning and progress is not adequately monitored.
There are a number of areas of kōhanga reo operations that need to be reviewed and updated. The charter has not been updated to reflect current legislative changes. Priority should be given to update and align key health and safety policies and procedures to align with the Children’s Act 2014. This should also include curriculum expectations such as planning, assessment and evaluation. It is timely for whānau to review their strategic plan, in particular the actions required to achieve the goals and aspirations of the whānau. It is also important that whānau implement kaimahi appraisals each year to ensure that the quality of their practice with children is lifted and sustained.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements, they need to:
establish an ongoing process of self-review or internal evaluation to help maintain and improve the quality of practice for children
Regulation 47 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA6 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
review and update policies and procedures to ensure that all reasonable steps to promote the health and safety of children are met and maintained for the emotional and physical wellbeing of all children
[Regulation 46 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS1-33 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
that the whānau, and kaimahi seek support from the district office of Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust and wider purapura networks to help address key next steps identified in this ERO report.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka will be in three years.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka is in Whakatane. Children demonstrate their understanding of whanaungatanga through interactions with each other and whānau. There is good kaumātua, whānau and iwi support for the kōhanga reo. Children are developing the ability to communicate in te reo Māori.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wairaka is in Whakatāne. It is marae based and well supported by kaumātua and Ngāti Awa iwi. Significant Ngāti Awa landmarks and stories are an important part of children’s learning experiences. The new komiti whakahaere are focused on providing a safe, nurturing learning environment for children. Whānau are learning about their roles and responsibilities to enable them to provide education and care for their children, and to effectively manage the kōhanga reo. Whanaungatanga is a strength.
Children demonstrate an awareness and understanding of whanaungatanga through interactions with peers, kaimahi and whānau.
Children display a sense of belonging. They recite daily karakia, whakapapa and pepehā. In this way they are able to make connections with peers, whānau and those around them. Children regularly take part in marae activities. During pōwhiri they learn about the role of tangata whenua. Children go on excursions where they explore and hear stories about important iwi landmarks. Whanaungatanga supports children to understand te ao Māori and their place in the wider community.
Children interact and relate to others in positive ways. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to promote positive behaviours in the learning programme. These include reinforcing values of aroha, manaaki and tiaki through tuakana-teina interactions. There are also opportunities for children to learn alongside whānau and kaumātua. Children are well supported to lead activities in the daily programme. Children are learning to be respectful and kind.
Children are immersed in te reo Māori. Daily routines, practices and activities support children’s language learning throughout the programme. Karakia, waiata, whakapapa and pepehā help children to use te reo Māori in formal situations. Kaimahi use prompts, questions and introduce new words and phrases to support children’s te reo Māori development. Children are early learners of te reo Māori.
Kaimahi plan and organise learning plans well. These plans are based on the seasons and relevant Atua Māori. The kaiako matua is responsible for the development, delivery and review of the learning programme. Kaimahi use a range of resources to engage children’s participation. Plans takes into account the different needs and interests. Kaimahi observations focus on improving the daily programme to better engage children in their learning.
Children’s safety and wellbeing guide whānau management practices. Regular whānau hui focus on long and short term goals and kōhanga reo activities. Strategic planning show clear links to Te Ara Tūāpae. External support is readily available to assist whānau in terms of making sound decisions to provide better outcomes for children.
The learning programme does not sufficiently challenge and engage children to extend their thinking. It is important that regularly review the overall learning programme in order to clearly identify effective ways of improving the quality of education children receive. This should include better use of information about children’s learning needs and interests to improve their evaluation practice.
Long term whānau planning, monitoring and review require attention. In the absence of an annual plan and robust internal evaluation, whānau are not able to accurately determine progress towards strategic goals and next steps in kōhanga reo development and direction.
Kaimahi appraisals have not been completed. There should be clear links between job descriptions and kaimahi appraisals to determine professional learning and development needs and opportunities for kaimahi
During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
